¿Bixessarri o Bissisarri?
Either because of the extension or the complicated pronunciation, the word Bixessarri is, without a doubt, a name, from the start, rather curious. Indeed, behind this singularity, which a priori may seem anecdotal, there is an interesting toponym debate. Thus, as a result of the doubts generated by the different variants of pronunciation, the Comú de Sant Julià de Lòria (local government) proposed to the Toponymy Commission of Andorra the option Bissisarri, while the inhabitants of the town chose the option of Bixessarri, a name that has remained until today.
Apart from this peculiarity, the village of Bixessarri stands out for its incredible natural surroundings, typical of a high mountain village. An extremely calm environment that, without a doubt, makes you disconnect, with idyllic stone streets that snake between exclusive properties perfectly integrated in the space.
